Sperry Univac System 80

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

The Sperry Univac System 80 is a medium-range, generalpurpose computer system with primary emphasis on ease of use and interactive operation. The original System 80 models, Models 3 and 5, were introduced in April 1980. In June 1982, these models were replaced by the Model4 and Model 6, which offer increased disk storage capacity and a disk cache feature designed to improve input/ output operations. A new streaming tape drive for disk backup and a new workstation model were also introduced.

In October 1982, Sperry Univac announced the System 80 Model 8, an enhanced processor that offers twice the performance of the Model 6 and twice the memory capacity of the earlier models. The Model 8 also includes features designed to aid users of Univac's 90/25, 90/30, and 90/40 systems in migrating to the new system.

All System 80 models are object-code compatible. A Model 3 can be field uegraded to a Model 4 or 6, and a Model 4 or 5 can be field upgraded to a Model 6. Upgrades to a Model 8 require a processor exchange.

All System 80 models utilize state-of-the-art multiplemicroprocessor architecture and emitter-coupled logic (EeL) circuits which promise high reliability and easy maintenance. The System 80 can be used effectively either as a standalone computer or as part of a distributed processing network. Moreover, it is designed for operation either in a computer room or in a controlled office environment. The basic processor complex requires only about 30 square feet of floor space. t:>

The System 80 is a workstation-oriented computer system designed for ease of use in interactive, batch, distributed processing, and remote computing operations.

MODELS: Model 4, Model 6, and Model 8. CONFIGURATION: From 512K to 8192K bytes of main memory plus a maximum of 1 20 workstations, 24 disk drives, 4 diskette drives, 8 magnetic tape units, 4 streaming tape units, 48 printers, 10 card reader/ punches, and 28 communications lines. Additional disk and tape drives can be attached via independent control units. COMPETITION: Burroughs B 1900; Hewlett-Packard 3000; Honeywell DPS 7; IBM System/38, 4321, and 4331; and NCR 8400.

1> PROCESSORS

The minimum System 80 Model 4 or Model 6 configuration consists of a processor complex with four integrated peripheral controls, 5I2K bytes of MOS memory, an integrated I 18.2-megabyte fixed disk drive, a diskette drive, a console workstation, and a free-standing line printer. The basic processor complex also includes provisions for up to two data communications lines, a magnetic tape subsystem, and one additional peripheral control. The system can be expanded by connecting additional peripheral devices to any or all of the integrated controls, and by adding the optional Input/ Output Microprocessor (lOMP) or Extended Channel Functionality (ECF), which permit the connection of up to three additional peripheral controls and six additional data communications lines.

The Model 4 and Model 6 processors are distinguished by the bandwidths of their 180-nanosecond control storage units: one word (of 32 data bits plus 4 parity bits) for the Model 4 and two words for the Model 6. The HighPerformance Control Storage (HPCOS) used in the Model 6 gives it a 55 percent speed advantage over the Model 4.

The main storage capacity on the Model 4 and Model 6 processors can be expanded to a maximum of 4096K bytes. The byte-addressable main storage is composed of 64K-bit MOS chips and has a cycle time of 400 nanoseconds per 4-byte access. Error correction code (ECC) logic provides automatic detection and correction of single-bit memory errors as well as detection of doublebit errors.

The minimum System 80 Model 8 configuration consists of a processor complex plus a line printer, a diskette subsystem, and a disk subsystem. The processor complex includes a central processor, 1024K bytes of main memory, a channel controller with one byte multiplexer channel and one selector channel, an IOMP with a workstation control and diskette control, and a system console with keyboard and two integral diskette drives for IMPL and system maintenance. The system can be expanded by connecting additional peripheral devices to the standard controls, adding more control units to the IOMP and the selector channels, and connecting additional selector channels to the channel controller. A second IOMP can also be added.

The control storage on the Mode} 8 processor has a 120-nanosecond cycle time per two-word access in parallel. Main memory can be expanded to 8192K bytes and has a cycle time of 480 nanoseconds per 8-byte access.

PERIPHERALS AND COMMUNICATIONS

All System 80 models support the following mass storage devices: the 8470, a 491-megabyte fixed-disk drive; the 8417, a 118.2-megabyte fixed-disk drive; and the 8419, a 72.3-megabyte removable disk drive. Certain carry-over drives from the Series 90/ 25,90/30, and 90/40 can also be attached to the System 80 Model 8. I>

~ DATA FORMATS

BASIC UNIT: 8-bit byte. Each byte can represent 1 alphanumeric character, 2 decimal digits, or 8 binary bits. Two consecutive bytes form a 16-bit "halfword," four consecutive bytes form a 32-bit ''word,'' and eight consecutive bytes form a 64-bit "doubleword."

FIXED-POINT OPERANDS: Can range from 1 to 16 bytes (1 to 31 digits plus sign) in decimal mode; 1 halfword (16 bits) or 1 word (32 bits) in binary mode. Certain operations use a doubleword (63-bit integer field plus sign) in binary mode.

FLOATING-POINT OPERANDS: Standard floating-point instructions provide for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, loading, storing, and sign control of short or long format operands. The short format provides 24-bit precision and is represented by one word, which uses bit 0 for the sign, bits 1 through 7 for the exponent, and bits 8 through 3lfor the fraction. Long format is represented with a doubleword which provides 56-bit precision; the long format is similar to the short format except that the fraction is contained in bit positions 8 through 63.

INSTRUCTIONS: 2,4 or 6 bytes in length, specifying 0, 1, or 2 main storage addresses, respectively.

INTERNAL CODE: EBCDIC or ASCII, depending upoo setting of a mode bit in the program status word by certain processor instructions. The processor is sensitive to zone fields and edit control characters.

MAIN STORAGE

STORAGE TYPE: MOS (metal oxide semiconductor), composed of 64K-bit chips.

CAPACITY: See Table 1.

CYCLE TIME: See Table 1.

CHECKING: Error correction code (ECC) logic provides automatic detection and correction of single-bit memory errors as weD as detection of double-bit errors. Parity checking is also performed on both data and addresses.

STORAGE PROTECTION: The standard Storage Protect feature uses 15 keys to provide write or read/write protection for 1024-byte segments of main storage.

RESERVED STORAGE: The first (low-order) 640 bytes of main storage are reserved to hold specific operating information accessed by the hardware and the operating system.

CENTRAL PROCESSOR

The System 80 processor architecture incorporates multiple LSI microprocessors and utilizes emitter-coupled logic (ECL) for high speed and reliable operation. Reliability is further enhanced by means of automatic instruction retry, parity generation and checking, a-nd control storage error correction.

On the System 80 Model 4 and Model 6, the processor complex contains two modular processors: a control processor with an a£sociated control storage unit, and a main storage processor which controls the main storage unit. The control processor performs arithmetic computations and contains the control logic required for instruction execution, system control, and I/O channel support functions in conjunction with the microinstructions residing in control storage. The control processor has 8 interrupt levels and a 4-byte (32-bit) internal data path width. ~

t> The principal input/ output devices in most System 80 configurations will be keyboard/ display units called workstations. Designed for ease of use in dialog-oriented interactive applications, each workstation consists of a typewriter-style keyboard and a 12-inch CRT screen with a 1920-character capacity. The System 80 Models 4 and 6 support up to 39 local workstations, plus the console workstation, while the System 80 Model 8 supports up to 120 local workstations. Additional remote workstations can be connected via communications lines.

Other input/ output devices available for the System 80 include: manual-load and autoload diskette drives; line printers rated at 180,300,640, and 1200 lines per minute; a 300-cpm reader and a 75-to-I60-cpm punch for 8O-column cards; the Uniservo to magnetic tape subsystem, which offers a maximum data transfer rate of 40,000 bytes per second; the Uniservo 22 magnetic tape subsystem (Model 8 only), which has a maximum data rate of 120,000 bytes per second; the Uniservo 24 magnetic tape subsystem (Model 8 only), which hasa maximum data rate of200,000 bytes per second; and a streaming tape unit with a maximum data rate of 40,000 or 160,000 bytes per second. The Model 8 processor also supports a number of Series 90 input/ output devices.

A basic Model 4 or 6 processor can control one or two data communications lines, and a system equipped with the I>

~ The Model 4 and Model 6 processors feature a new disk cache capability designed to reduce the number of read operations perfonned on the disks. The disk cache facility consists of system microcode and a portion of main memory that is set aside for use as a cache buffer.

The Model 4 and Model 6 differ primarily in the bandwidths of their control storage units, which are described below.

The System 80 Model 8 processor complex includes the central processing unit, control processor, main storage unit, and Input/Output Microprocessor (IOMP). The CPU executes and controls instructions and processes I/O interrupts, interval time activities, and general interrupts. The control processor ~ an independent unit that controls the console complex and control panels, system initialization, maintenance/ diagnostic functions, system recovery, and remote maintenance interface. The IOMP provides an interface between main storage and the integrated peripheral controls and communications controls.

REGISTERS: The System 80 processor has the foHowing register complement: 16 four-byte program registers, 16 fourbyte supervisor registers, 16 four-byte control registers, and 4 eight-byte floating-point registers.

CONTROL STORAGE: The processor's operations are controUed by microprograms residing in a modular control storage element. The Model 4 control storage has a 180-nanosecond cycle time per one-word access and a capacity of 32,768 words, with each word consisting of32 data bits plus 4 parity bits. The High-Performance Control Storage (HPCOS) used in the Model 6 proce~or has the same 180-nanosecond cycle time but accesses two words per cycle, has a ~

1:> Input/ Output Microprocessor or Extended Channel Functionality can support a total of eight lines. Each line can handle a data rate of up to 56,000 bits per second and can accommodate either a single remote terminal or a multi-drop network configuration. Each laMP on the Model 8 processor can control up to 14 communications lines, for a total of 28 lines.

A Single-Line Communications Adapter (SLCA) provides the appropriate interface between the System 80 and each line. SLCA's are currently available to support the following communications protocols: Binary Synchronous, Teletype (TTY), Univac UDLC, and Uniscope 100/200, UTS 4000, and BC-7.

Also available for the Model 8 processor is the InterComputer Control Unit (lCCU), which provides a fiber optic link between two as / 3 systems. The two systems can be two System 80s or a System 80 and a Series 90/25, 90/30, or 90/40. The connected systems can be up to 3300 feet apart, with line speeds up to 145K bytes per second.

SOFTWARE

The System 80 software is based upon the user-proven OS/3 operating system. Introduced in 1974 with the Univac 90/30, OS/3 has been extended and restructured to meet the varied information processing needs of the 1980s. The current release of OS/3 supports batch, interactive, remote communications, and distributed processing environments, and features dynamic resource management and the ability to control up to 14 simultaneous jobs in a multiprogramming environment on Models 4 and 6 and 48 simultaneous jobs on Model 8.

The Extended System Software, an optional extension of as /3, adds six software tools that promise to enhance the ease and efficiency of System 80 operations. Especially noteworthy are the Screen Format Generator, which simplifies the programming of display screen formats for System 80 workstations, and the Dialog Specification Language, which facilitates the preparation of interactive dialogs between the system and its users.

Sperry Univac currently offers six programming languages for the System 80: Cobol 1974, Fortran IV, Basic, RPG II, Escort, and Basic Assembly Language (BAL). Transaction and data base management are facilitated by two major software tools. The System 80 Information Management System (lMS) is an interactive transaction processing system with integrated file management facilities. The Data Base Management System (OMS) is a Codasyl-compatible system that permits simultaneous access to shared data bases by multiple users. Data communications functions are controlled by the ICAM (Integrated Communications Access Method) Terminal Support Facility, which provides concurrent support for mUltiple user programs communicating with a variety of terminals and line types.

Sperry Univac also offers 10 applications software products, all designed to take advantage of the System 80's 1:>

~ capacity of 16,384 doublewords (i.e., 131,072 bytes), and yields a 55 percent increase in processing speed. The Model 8 control storage has a capacity of 80,000 bytes. The Model 8 accesses one word per cycle and has a cycle time of 120 nanoseconds. According to Sperry Univac, the Model 8 has twice the processing speed of the Model 6.

The control storage module also contains 1024 words ofreadonly storage, which provides the capability to perform initial microprogram loading and contains resident microdiagnostics for the central processor.

INSTRUCTION REPERTOIRE: The standard System 80 instruction set is an "inclusive superset" of the Univac 90/30 instruction set. It consists of 128 instructions, including 44 floating-point arithmetic instructions as well as decimal arithmetic, fixed-point binary arithmetic, code conversion, logical operations, packing, unpacking, editing, shifting, testing, and branching. Instructions are two, four, or six bytes in length and use one of six formats: Register to Register (RR), Register to Indexed Storage (RX), Register to Storage (RS), Storage (S), Storage and Immediate Operand (SI), or Storage to Storage (SS).

CONFIGURATION RULES

MODELS 4 AND 6: The minimum system configuration consists of a processor complex plus a 0776 or 0789 freestanding printer and an 8420 or 8422 diskette drive. The processor complex, in turn, consists of a control processor, a main storage processor with 512K bytes of memory, a disk channel/ control and one integrated 118.2-megabyte nonremovable disk drive, a diskette control, a workstation control and one console workstation, and a paper peripheral control which controls the printer.

The basic system can be expanded by connecting additional peripheral devices to any or all of the four integrated controls. The disk channel/control can control up to seven additional disk drives of the fixed or removable-media type. The diskette control can handle up to three additional drives. The workstation control accommodates up to seven additional local workstations. The paper peripheral control can handle a second printer and either two card readers or one card reader and one card punch. The basic processor complex also includes provisions for a magnetic tape control, one or two data communications lines, and one additional peripheral control.

A Model 4 or 6 system can be further expanded by adding field-installable modules that increase its storage capacity or I/O capabilities. Main memory can be expanded to four megabytes. The optional Extended Channel Functionality (ECF) feature permits the connection of up to three additional peripheral controls and six additional data communications lines. The optional Input/ Output Microprocessor (IOMP) provides for up to three additional peripheral controls other than disk controls and up to six additional communications lines. The 10MP includes a dedicated microprocessor for peripheral operations control. Also available is the Micrologic Expansion feature, which provides additional channel functionality via microcode. The Model 6 processor requires one of these I/O features, which are mutually exclusive.

MODEL 8: A minimum configuration consists of a processor complex plus a line printer, a diskette subsystem, and a disk subsystem. The processor complex includes a central processor, 1024K bytes of main memory, a channel controller with one byte multiplexer channel and one selector channel, an 10MP with a workstation controller and diskette controller, and a system console with keyboard and two integral diskette drives for IMPL and system maintenance. ~

1:> orientation toward interactive processing. These include the UNIS 80 manufacturing control system, the Unifacs 80 financial accounting system, and the W AMS 80 wholesale distribution system.

COMPATIBILITY AND COMPETITION

The System 80 is fully compatible with Sperry Univac's earlier OS 1 3-oriented computers-the 90/25, 90/30, and 90/40. As such, it also offers a high degree of compatibility with the earlier Univac 9000 Series computers, the IBM System 1 360 and 370, and many of the other byte-oriented systems currently on the market.

The IBM System/3 and System/ 34 are primary marketing targets of the System 80, and the conversion process is facilitated by the availability of a compatible RPG II compiler, sort package (SORT3), disk access method (MIRAM), utility functions, and OCL processor. To bridge the remaining areas of incompatibility between the two systems, Sperry Univac also offers a disk data file conversion procedure and transcribers for source and proc libraries.

Other conversion aids, including language translators and file transcribers, are available to facilitate conversions to the System 80 from the Univac 9200 and 9300~ the OS/4-oriented Univac 9400 and 9480~ the IBM System/32~ the Honeywell Series 100, 200, and 2000~ and the Honeywell Series 60, Levels 62 and 64. Facilities are also provided for the System 80 Model 8 to facilitate transition from a 90/25, 90/30 or 90/40 system.

The System 80 competes directly against three formidable IBM computers, the System 1 38, the 4321, and the 4331, as well as against a host of other medium-range systems from vendors such as Burroughs, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, and NCR. The System 1 38 features interactive operation, virtual storage, and integrated data base support. The 4331 is a more conventional, batch-oriented system that uses the proven System 1 370 hardware and software concepts. The 4321, introduced by IBM in November 1981, is an entrylevel, workstation-oriented system. The System 80 is said to be closely comparable in CPU performance to the System 1 38, 4321, and 4331. It also offers the capability to handle a broad range of both interactive and batch applications.

USER REACTION

In Datapro's 1982 survey of general-purpose computer users, 18 System 80 users reported on their experience with 18 systems, which had been in use for an average of 11.7 months. Of the eight users who specified the model number, six had installed a Model 3 and two were using a Model 5. All but two of the users had converted to the System 80 from another system, typically a Sperry Univac 9000 Series or an IBM System/3.

The users' ratings of the System 80 are summarized in the table below. 1:>

~ Main memory is expandable in 1024K-byte increments up to 4096K bytes, then in 2048K-byte increments up to the maximum of 8192K bytes.

A minimum Model 8 system requires a paper peripheral control with an 0789 or 0766 line printer, an 8420 or 8422 diskette subsystem, and an Integrated Disk Control Unit (IDCU) with one 8470 disk drive, two 8417 or 8419 disk drives, or two Series 90 8416 or 8418 disk drives. Alternatively, the printer requirement can be met by adding a byte multiplexer adapter and a Series 90 0770 or 0776 printer, and the disk requirement can be met by using a 5039 control unit and two 8430 or 8433 disk drives.

The byte multiplexer channel supports the system console and, via the byte adapter, up to four Series 90 printers or card readers. The selector channel is used to interface disk and tape units to the system. The Model 8 can have up to five selector channels, each of which can support up to three IDCUs. The maximum number of IDCU-supported disk drives is 24.

The IOMP supports up to eight low-speed peripheral controls, 14 communications lines, a Uniservo 10 tape subsystem, and an Inter-Computer Control Unit (ICCU). (The ICCU is described in the "Communications" section of this report.) Optional peripheral controls can be added in any combination of workstation controls, paper peripheral controls, and remote printer attachments. Additionally, one integrated tape control is available for Uniservo 22 and streaming tape drives. A second IOMP can be added to a System 80 Model 8 system.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONTROL

The System 80 Model 4 and 6 processor complexes include three I/O channels. The interface between the 110 channels and the peripheral devices is through the peripheral controls described above. The standard disk channel/control provides a direct, microprocessor-controlled interface to main storage and accommodates a data transfer rate of up to 1.1 megabytes per second. The optional disk/channel control for the 8470 disk drives, which requires ECF, supports a data transfer rate of up to 2.1 megabytes per second. All other peripheral controls are interfaced to main storage through either the central processor or the ECF or IOMP. The maximum aggregate system data rate is 6.0 megabytes per second.

The System 80 Model8 processor complex includes one byte multiplexer channel and one selector channel as standard. The byte multiplexer channel supports the system console and has a maximum data rate of 70K bytes per second. The selector channel supports high-speed peripheral devices (disk and tape drives) and operates at 1.5 megabytes per second. In addition, the Input/Output Microprocessor (IOMP) handles low-speed peripheral devices such as printers and workstations. The System 80 Model 8 has an aggregate data rate of 8 megabytes per second.

MASS STORAGE

For disk and diskette drives supported on the System 80, please refer to Table 2.

INPUT/OUTPUT UNITS

WORKSTATIONS: The basic System 80 Model 4 or 6 configuration includes a console workstation and a microprocessor-based workstation control that can accommodate up to seven additional workstations. A system equipped with the Input/ Output Microprocessor or Extended Channel Functionality can handle up to four additional workstation controls, each controlling a maximum of eight workstations. The workstations are cable-connected to the processor complex and can be located up to 5000 feet (1524 meters) away from it. The control unit contains ~

In addition to answering the standard survey questions, one user wrote, "I've found the Sperry Univac (System 80) to be a more efficient machine than the IBM S / 34, in that the J Cl allows for more internal control than the OCl on the IBM. The Univac is quicker and has more efficient software."

In October, we contacted four of the survey respondents and asked them for their comments on the System 80. These four users represented a service bureau, a municipal government, and two retail businesses.

One of the users interviewed had installed a System 80 Model 3 in April 1981 as a replacement for a Honeywell 2020. The Model 3 has since been upgraded to a Model 5. This user said that the conversion from the Honeywell to the Univac system was "very easy, "he had experienced no downtime, and Sperry Univac was "a super company to deal with." He added, however, that some of the software "eats up memory." He started out with 512K bytes of

... dedicated buffers for each workstation, allowing the workstations to transfer data concurrently through a serial interface at a data rate of 9600 bits per second.

The basic System SO Model S configuration includes a system console that attaches to the byte multiplexer channel and a workstation control that supports up to eight workstations. Up to 120 local workstations can be connected to a System SO ModelS.

Two System SO workstation models are available: the Model 1 and the Model 2. Both models are keyboard/ display units designed for ease of operation. A 12-inch CRT displays 24 lines of data plus a system status line, and each line can contain up to SO characters. Three keyboard arrangements are available: standard typewriter, typewriter plus numeric and function pads, and foreign language. Each keyboard also contains 33 control keys that provide considerable operating flexibility, including cursor scanning, character insertion and deletion, protected characters, blinking, selective erasure, and reverse video.

The Model I Workstation supports an SO-column SOcharacter-per-second matrix printer and a 132-column 200-character-per-second matrix printer.

The Model 2 Workstation includes 32K to 64K bytes of memory for user programmability. A screen by-pass capability enables users to send output directly to a printer without first displaying it on the screen. The Model 2 workstation supports a variety of printer models: an SOcolumn SO-character-per-second matrix printer; a 132-column, 200-character-per-second matix printer; a 132-column correspondence-quality printer; a high-quality 40- or 160-character-per-second printer; and a 132-column, IS0- or 300-line-per-minute line printer. In addition, one diskette drive can be attached to the Model 2 Workstation.

By pre~ing a function key, the operator can cause a System SO workstation to operate in either of two modes. Workstation mode, the normal mode of operation, is used when communicating with application programs. System mode provides a direct interface to the OS/3 operating system, enabling the operator to make system inquiries, activate jobs, and perform other system functions. ...

I> memory and increased it to 1024K bytes within 8 months. He said that the Escort language, in particular, uses a lot of memory, but he likes Escort because it is "so easy for nonEDP people to use."

Another installation was using a Model 4 and planned to upgrade to a Model 6. The DP manager said he had originally converted from an IBM System/3 to a System 80 in 1980. He reported that the System 80 immediately ran out of memory, and he had to double the memory capacity. He said he thought "Sperry Univac made the same initial mistake with the System 80 that IBM made with the System/38-both systems were undersized because the vendors didn't fully understand the technology." However, he commented that the System 80 "is a good piece of hardware and is comparable to the System/38 in speed." He added that in a batch environment "you need a Model 4 or 6, not a Model 3 or 5." The cache facility in his model 4 "speeded up batch processing by 40 to 50 percent."

The third user had installed a System 80 Model 5 in November 1981 as a replacement for an IBM System/ 360. He said the conversion was still in progress and was "very poor." He also said there had been "excessive downtime" on the CPU and the service personnel were "not that competent." This user also reported problems with the peripherals, particularly the card reader.

The fourth user interviewed had converted from a Sperry Univac 9480 to a System 80 Model 3 in September 1981. He reported that he had experienced "many problems with the System 80 upon installation," but that the situation was better now and he would recommend the system to others.

Despite the negative comments quoted, 13 of the 18 survey respondents said they would recommend the System 80 to other users. One user said he would not recommend the system and four were undecided. However, at the time of our telephone interviews, two of these four said they would recommend the system. D

~ On the System 80 Models 4 and 6, the console workstation is a specially adapted workstation that can perform all the standard workstation functions, as described above, plus the additional functions required to control and maintain the system. It can be switched into any of three operating modes and can serve as a normal workstation, as a system control console, or as a maintenance console. The System 80 ModelS console does not include workstation functionality. Two diskette drives are included for IMPL and system maintenance.

Magnetic tape drives, printers, and punched card equipment for the System 80 are 6sted in Table 3.

COMMUNICATIONS CONTROL

In addition to the directly connected workstations, a System SO Model 4 or 6 can support up to S communications lines, while a System SO Model S can support up to 28 communications lines.· Data can be transmitted at up to 56,000 bits per second over each line. An appropriate Single,Line Communications Adapter (SLCA) provides the

interface between the System SO and each line. The SLCA performs integrity checking, special character recognition, and data transfer control. SLCAs are available to support the following communications protocols and Sperry Univac terminals:

• Univac Uniscope 100/200, UTS 400, 4000, and BC.;.7; 2000 to 9600 bps data rate; half or full duplex, synchronous mode; RS-232C/X.21.BIS or MIL-ISS-I00 interface; provides auto answer; requires external clock.

• Teletype or equivalent; up to 9600 bps data rate; halfduplex, asynchronous mode; RS-232C/X.21.BIS or MILlSS-100 interface; provides auto answer; has internal clock.

• Universal Data Link Control (UDLC); 2000 to 56,000 bps data rate; half or full duplex, synchronous mode; RS-232C/X.21.BIS interface; provides auto answer; requires external clock.

INTER-COMPUTER CONTROL UNIT (ICCU): Available on all System SO models, the ICCU provides a fiber optic link between two OS/3 systems for distributed processing applications. The connected systems can either be two System SO systems or a System SO and a Series 90/25,90/30, or 90/40 system. The distance between systems can be up to 3300 feet, with speeds up to 145K bytes per second. The ICCU interfaces to the IOMP on the System SO Model S.

SOFTWARE

OPERATING SYSTEM: Software support for the System 80 is based upon Sperry Univac's proven OS/3 operating system, extended and restructured to provide effective support for batch, interactive, remote communications, and distributed processing environments.

The OS/3 supervisor consists of memory-resident and diskresident transient routines that provide the central control, coordination, and resource allocation required for efficient system utilization. Supervisor functions include interrupt servicing, task switching, physical I/O control, transient management, timer and day clock service management, console and workstation management, error logging and recovery, and memory management.

The OS/3 job control facilities on the System SO Models 4 and 6 allow the defmition, initiation, and control of up to 14 simultaneous jobs with up to 256 subtasks per job step. The System SO Model 8 can handle up to 4S concurrent jobs. Jobs and tasks are scheduled in response to job control language (JCL) statements entered from the system console, workstations, or remote terminals. An interactive prompting facility simplifies the creation of JCL statements and job streams. Previously stored J CL procedures can be varied at run time. A new block loading capability provides faster execution of job control streams.

OS/3 includes a consolidated data management system that serves as the controlling interface between application programs, the system hardware, and OS/3. There are separate access methods for disks, diskette, workstation, magnetic tape, and unit record input/output. The logical input/output control system (fOCS) modules that control each access method are shareable subroutines that are dynamically loaded into main memory when required. Access to disk rIles is controlled by the Multiple Indexed Random Access Method (MIRAM), a single access method that provides four ways of accessing disk records: sequentially in order of placement, sequentially by ascending key, randomly by multiple keys, or randomly by relative record number. A shared fIle processing facility reduces the I/O overhead associated with disk file sharing. The diskette access method permits the records on a diskette fIle to be accessed ~


DECEMBER 1982

70C-877-02i Computers


~ sequentially in order of placement, randomly by relative record number, or by data set labels. Card, printer, and diskette subsystems can be accessed either directly or through the optional Spooling facility.

The basic OS/3 System Control Software (SCS) includes a number of bundled system service programs. Among these are two program librarians; a linkage editor; disk, diskette, and tape initialization routines; system and user dump routines; two print utilities; a catalog manipulation utility; a disk dump/restore utility; a system patch routine; system installation facilities; a security maintenance utility; and a system activity monitor.

EXTENDED SYSTEM SOFTWARE: This optional, separately priced extension of OS/3 provides six additional software components that significantly enhance the utilization and operation of the System 80. These components are described in the following paragraphs.

The Screen Format Generator (SFG) is designed to facilitate the progra~ming of screen formats for System 80 workstations by enabling users to create, modify, and delete formats and maintain the flies in which these formats are stored. Prompting at each step of the process is optional. Formats generated by the SFG are independent of user programs, and can be changed without necessitating recompilation of the programs. The stored formats can be either shared with other users or restricted.

The Dialog Specification Language (DSL) is a high-level language designed to facilitate the creation of interactive dialogs between the System 80 and its users. Each dialog is a series of questions to which the user at a workstation or remote terminal responds with appropriate information. DSL allows the programmer to specify the dialog structure, format and mapping rules, and record structure. The DSL translator processes the specifications and stores the resulting dialog. The OS/3 Dialog Processor responds to requests to display prefiled dialogs, extracts the data entered in response to the dialog queries, and routes the data to the appropriate user programs.

The Data Utility is a versatile utility program for reproducing and maintaining data files on cards, tape, disk, or diskette. Statements describing the files and the desired processing are entered either through a job control stream (m batch mode) or in response to screen prompts (mteractively). The Data Utility can compare files, insert or delete records, edit records, transfer existing files to other types of devices, produce a printed copy of any file, etc.

SORT/MERGE can operate either as an independent sort/merge program defmed and initiated by JCL statements, or as a modular sort/merge subroutine integrated into user programs. Input and output to the sort or merge may be on disk, diskette, or magnetic tape, and work files may be on either disk or tape. Blocked or unblocked records of fixed or variable length can be sorted in ascending or descending sequence. Up to 2SS key fields can be specified, and the key fields can have any of 7 formats.

SORT3 is an IBM System/3 and System/34 compatible sort program that can sort and reformat selected records from as many as nine input files on cards, tape, disk, or diskette. SORT3 can perform full-record sorts, tag sorts, and summary sorts.

The Spooling and Job Accounting facility increases system throughput by transferring data between low-speed peripheral devices and disk storage independently of the programs that use the data. Both input spooling and output spooling are provided. Job accounting information for each job that runs on the system is generated as part of the spooling function. Special programs are provided to process this inform.Jltion and produce a detailed job accounting report.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES: System 80 users have a choice of six programming languages: Cobol, Fortran IV, Basic, RPG II, Escort, and BAL.

The OS/3 Cobol compiler conforms to the specifications of American National Standard Cobol X3.23-1974. The following standard Cobol language modules are implemented, all at Level 2: Nucleus, Table Handling, Sequential I/O, Relative I/O, Indexed I/O, Sort, Segmentation, Library, Debug, Inter-Program Communications, and Communications. In addition, the compiler contains a number of useful extensions, including a non-English language feature, an extended program test facility, workstation support, and transaction processing support.

The Cobol Editor is a separate program product that provides for the creation and updating of Cobol source programs at a workstation. The System 80 Editor is prerequisite.

The OS/3 Fortran IV compiler implements the ANS Fortran X3.9-1966 language, together with numerous extensions designed to provide compatibility with IBM DOS Fortran IV and Sperry Univac Series 70 Fortran. Direct-access fIles, formatted screen services, and debugging and diagnostic features are available.

OS/3 Basic is an interactive programming system that is compatible with Dartmouth Basic and with American National Standard Minimal Basic X3.60-1978, with extensions. Files, subprograms, string handling, chaining, and user-defined functions are supported. Basic source programs can be entered and compiled interactively, and syntax errors can be corrected immediately. During a single interactive Basic session, a user can enter, modify, execute, and save programs.

OS/3 RPG II is an industry-compatible report program generator with extensions designed to facilitate programming and maintenance. It can compile RPG II source statements written for the IBM System/3, System/34, System/360, and System/370 computers and for the Univac 9200, 9300, 9400, and 9480. Significant extensions include an Auto Report facility that simplifies RPG II programming, IMS "action program" support, workstation support, a formatted error analysis capability, and an RPG II Editor that facilitates the creation and editing of RPG II programs from a workstation or terminal. The System 80 Editor is a prerequisite to the utilization of the RPG II Editor facility.

Escort is a high-level language, introduced with the Univac BCn computers, that facilitates the preparation of programs for generating reports, entering data, processing transactions, making file inquiries, and maintaining data files. The Escort system features two modes of operation. In the Tutorial mode, the novice user is guided through the program development process by means of extensive prompting and diagnostics. The Program mode permits more experienced users to enter programs more rapidly, and they can revert to the Tutorial mode whenever problems are encountered.

Basic Assembly Language (BALJ is a versatile symbolic language that gives the user full control of the System 80 hardware facilities by providing a mnemonic code for each machine instruction. BAL also provides facilities for macro instructions, procedural directives, and operand expressions.

EDITOR: The System 80 Editor is an interactive facility for creating, copying, and merging files and for adding, deleting, and modifying text. It provides convenient commands for creating and updating records in data files, library files, and spool files. File protection facilities prevent a file being modified by the Editor from being destroyed or incorrectly altered either by direct user action or through a system failure.

MENU GENERA TOR: The Menu Generator enables user programs to create and maintain menus of predefmed actions ~


70C-877-02j Computers


~ for the workstation operator. Menus are stored and can be shared or restricted.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: The System 80 Information Management System (IMS) is an interactive transaction pr<Kessing system with integrated file management facilities. It includes an inquiry/update language, UNIQUE, that is designed for general-purpose file processing and requires no programming knowledge. IMS also supports application programs written by the user in Cobol, RPG II, or BAL. Programming is simplified because IMS handles all the communications and file I/O functions.

IMS is transaction-oriented. Processing is triggered by a message from a workstation or remote terminal. Application programs, called "action programs," process the input message, access data files as necessary, and return the appropriate response to the terminal. IMS allocates the system resources, schedules the required action programs, and provides file protection through a record locking facility and both on-line and off-line recovery provisions.

IMS can access conventional files, specially defmed files, or DMS data bases. It supports the processing of transactions in batch mode as well as in the normal interactive mode. Input to IMS can come from any interactive workstation or terminal. Terminals can either be dedicated to IMS or dynamically connected and disconnected during an on-line session. Messages can be sent from one IMS terminal to another. Extensive recovery facilities can be utilized without user programming. IMS is now available in both single-thread and multi-thread versions. Extended System Software is a prerequisite to IMS.

DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: DMS is Sperry Univac's CODASYL-compatible data base management system for the System 80 computers. It consists of a collection of programs designed to handle the description, initialization, creation, accessing, maintenance, backup, and recovery of data bases.

DMS has four major components: the Data Description Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), Data Base Management System (DBMS), and Data Base Utilities. The DDL enables users to defme a data base and various "views" of the data base. The data base can be accessed by means of D ML statements in the Procedure Division of Cobol application programs. The DBMS allows concurrent access to the shared data base by multiple users in any combination of batch, transaction, and time-sharing programs. The Data Base Utilities include routines for loading and dumping the data base, reporting, printing, initialization, and off-line recovery. A more detailed description of DMS can be found in Report 70E-877-01.

Interfacing between DMS and the IMS transaction processing system can be accomplished in several ways. DMS data bases can be accessed by Cobol-coded IMS action programs through DML statements embedded in the programs. Alternatively, DMS data bases can be used to build IMS "defmed files" which are accessible via the UNIQUE inquiry/update language or via IMS action programs coded in Cobol, RPG II, or BAL. The Extended Systems Software and Cobol are prerequisites to DMS.

COMMUNICA TIONS SOFTWARE: The ICAM (Integrated Communications Access Method) Terminal Support Facility is a modular component of OS/3 that provides concurrent support for multiple user programs communicating with a variety of terminals and line types. ICAM controls the physical input/output operations between the System 80 processor and the Single-Line Communications Adapters (SLCAs), and performs the following functions: message queuing, multiple destination routing, activity scheduling and priority control, timer service, checkpoint/restart procedures,

journal control, and accumulation of message and error statistics.

The user can choose the required level of I CAM support at system generation time. There are four available interfaces between the user's message pr<Kessing programs and the ICAM modules, and each interface contains its own unique set of macroinstructions. The Standard Interface is a conventional GET/PUT communications interface that automatically queues input and output messages in network buffers. The Transaction Control Interface is specifically designed for efficient processing of transaction programs in conjunction with IMS. The Direct Data Interface permits users' programs to interface directly with the ICAM remote device handlers. The Communications Physical Interface provides an interface between ICAM and users' programs at the physical I/O level, which may save main storage but shifts most of the communications programming effort to the user.

The NTR (Nine Thousand Remote) System Utility enables a System 80 to act as a remote batch terminal to a Sperry Univac 1100 Series computer system. NTR is controlled by macroinstructions and console directives, and it can run concurrently with other System 80 jobs. The ICAM Terminal Support Facility is a prerequisite.

The Distributed Data Processing Transfer Facility permits the distribution and cooperative processing of user jobs and flies among multiple OS/3-supported computers in different locations. The user can view each node in his distributed processing network as an available resource for scheduling and executing his work. Using straightforward commands, he can initiate job distribution and file transfer operations without regard for the intricacies of the hardware, software, and communications protocols involved. The Extended System Software, ICAM Terminal Support Facility, and either the DCA Termination Systems or one of the PacketSwitched Public Data Network Systems are prerequisites to the Distributed Data Processing Transfer Facility.

The Distributed Data Processing File Access Facility enables user programs to access flies resident on remote OS/3 systems via Sperry Univac's UDLC communications protocol. Program-to-program communications are also supported. The DDP File Access Facility requires the ICAM Terminal Support Facility and either the DCA Termination Systems or one of the Packet-Switched Public Data Network Systems.

The Distributed Data Processing IMS rransactionProcessor enables transactions created by a workstation operator or IMS action program to be routed between OS/3-supported systems. IMS integrated recovery facilities are provided for system integrity control. Prerequisites are the IMS MultiThread system, ICAM Terminal Support Facility, and either the DCA Termination Systems or one of the Packet-Switched Public Data Network Systems.

The Remote Terminal Processor permits a System 80 processor to interface to an IBM system as a multileaving workstation using BSC protocol. The ICAM Terminal Support Facility and Extended System Software are required.

The IBM 3270 Emulator provides an interface that permits a System 80 to emulate a 3270 terminal. The ICAM Terminal Support Facility and Extended System Software are prerequisites.

The DCA Termination Systems are facilities that establish and control a DCA communications network and permit a communications program to establish a session with terminals or programs on other systems. The ICAM Terminal Support Facility and Extended System Software are required. ~

All eight programs require the ICAM Terminal Support Facility.

A UTS 400 Cobol Compiler, Edit Processor, and Load/Dump Facility are provided to facilitate the use of the Sperry Univac UTS 400 Universal Terminal System with the System SO. These software products enable the System SO to be used for efficient creation, maintenance, and loading of UTS 400 programs and data files.

The UTS 4000 Loadable Character Set Generator provides a means of generating user-defined character sets to be used with the loadable character set hardware feature on Sperry Univac UTS 40 single-station terminals. Users have the option of starting with an existing character set already defined for the UTS 40 or creating a new character set. The UTS Load/Dump Facility and ICAM Terminal Support Facility are required.

CONVERSION AIDS: Sperry Univac is marketing the System SO as a replacement for a number of older small computer systems, and is offering appropriate software aids to simplify the conversion process.

For Univac 90/25, 90/30, and 90/40 users migrating to a System SO Model S, the Cobol Conversion Group provides Cobol 1965 to Cobol 1974 conversion. The System SO Model S also provides temporary support for the file access methods used on the Series 90 models.

For Univac 9200/9300 users, the OS/3 RPG II compiler can be operated in a 9200/9300 mode that permits direct compilation of 9200/9300 RPG source programs, and 9200/9300 sequential tape files can be processed directly by OS/3 programs. To bridge the remaining areas of incompatibility, Sperry Univac offers a 9200/9300 data file transcriber, assembly language translator, Cobol and COpy translator, and library transcriber.

For Univac 9400/9480 users operating under OS/4, OS/3 offers a high degree of compatibility. Most OS/4 RPG and Fortran source programs can be recompiled by the OS/3 compilers with little or no change. Available conversion aids include an OS/4 JCL translator, assembly language translator, Cobol and COpy translator, data file converter, and library transcriber.
